In 2003, PolitiFact found that just under one in four pregnancies ended in abortion. Further, this assumes that those having an abortion would not have children in the future. Which is also incorrect. 53% of those who had abortions stated that they planned on having children in the future.

But you may ask, that was from 2003 what about a closer date to now? Isn't it true that abortions are generally increasing with time as we go away from traditional family values? The Guttmacher Institute has shown that the rate of abortions have gone down over time. There was a peak in 1981 with 29.3 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-44 to 19.6 in 2008.
